Charles Dickens’ novel “A Christmas Carol” shows the main character Scrooge as being haunted by three spirits on Christmas Eve. Dickens presents these supernatural entities with historic appearances, which have a strong reflection on the character and development of Scrooge. This is often overlooked on first read. The first example of this is the appearance of The Ghost of Christmas Past, which is used by Dickens to physicalize the mentality of Scrooge. The spirit is described as “like a child” and represents the child that is still inside him; It is his childhood that caused him to hate the festive season and he still holds the grudge, that being “a lonely boy” during Christmas set.
In the novel A Christmas Carol written by Charles Dickens, we are introduced to a grumpy old stingy character named Ebenezer Scrooge. Scrooge is visited by the three spirits of Christmas and undergoes a change of heart.

Scrooge is depressed and is a schizophrenic, a person who has severe mental condition that interferes with the normal thought process, causing delusions, hallucinations, and mental disorganization. Through his schizophrenia he goes through periods of time with the “spirits”.
Ebenezer Scrooge is known for being a cold, selfish man who keeps Christmas outside his heart. One night four Christmas spirits visited him, showing him his past, present, and future. Each ghost warns him about his fate if he does not change his ways. The Ghost of Christmas Future shows Scrooge how he dies, which horrifies him.

Can people truly change who they are? This a question indirectly presented for Scrooge in Charles Dickens’s A Christmas Carol.

After the ghosts visit, Scrooge has learned his lesson of what his business actually is.
The ghost of Christmas future shows Scrooge what happens after his possible death, and 3 people are seen selling his items that he needed to live and rest. One of the 3 people say ‘he died with no one by his side’ which leads to the fact that Scrooge loves nobody but his coin. The ghost lets Scrooge also see that Tiny Tim has died, significantly telling Scrooge that he has to change or he will die and so will Tiny Tim. However, Scrooge decides to change his ways once and for all, and he finally pledges to be a kind man to others, with no potential signs of threat or vile manners. The whole point of the spirit’s visit was to use the final blow on Scrooge’s Arctic organs and give him a few more scenarios of what happens in the possible future.
